West Galveston Island Beach Renourishment

Summary

A carry-forward from Cycle 5, this project will utilize CEPRA and other federal funds to construct a large-scale beach nourishment and dune restoration project extending six miles from the west end of the Galveston seawall along the gulf beach. Beach quality sand obtained from a submerged sand resource at the east end of Galveston inside the South Jetty will be dredged and placed on the beaches of West Galveston Island. This project has been greatly expanded and reworked due to the impact of Hurricane Ike.
